Simple writing tips

I saw a post from Hodderscape, which recently held a open submission call, providing writing tips from editor, Anne Perry. I thought her approach was very useful and simple. Reading slush opens your eyes to lots of things.

I also saw recently some tips on developing character from the amazing Angela Slatter, which I thought were useful too.

A while ago now I did a series of posts based on my observations on slush pile reading and the things that I saw there. These posts are probably a bit more indepth and perhaps a bit more muddled than the two recent posts I saw on the web.

This is good reading, thanks Donna, particularly your insights into the Angry Robot submissions. I tossed a story (unsuccessfully) into the ring for Angry Robot, Hodderscape and Gollancz last year, so was really curious what sort of approach the publishers might take with these windows.
